    dunno about this generation cause im not in the market for new parts, but amd usually comes within spitting distance at much lower prices.

    it makes less and less sense to buy nvidia as time passes, yet people still do.

      Well, that’s just not true. I’ve been using AMD exclusively for 10 years now and they haven’t had a proper competitor to NVIDIA’s high end in since then. I’m willing to settle for less performance to avoid a shitty company but some people aren’t. It can’t make “less and less sense” to go with NVIDIA if they’re the only ones making the product you want to buy. More importantly, though: it doesn’t matter. The point is that people wanting performance above a 4080 are screwed because NVIDIA shat the bed with the 5000 series and AMD just doesn’t exist at that price point so the comment I’m replying to makes no sense.
